I volunteer for the IIAK with an office full of fillies. My “unofficial” title is CFO (Chief Fun Officer)/Blogger. You may start seeing me more trotting across the Bluegrass learning about our member and non-member agencies. I love meeting new people and attending events. Keep me “posted” on your community events, agency milestones, staff news or achievements; I will try to RACE to hang out and help promote IIAK and your agency.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15557395600246321915noreply@blogger.comBlogger26125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207711645107476892.post-68030563381459589572015-03-18T09:34:00.003-07:002015-03-18T09:34:51.456-07:00Tee Cee: Picture it...

saddle, be ready for the ride.” So, that is exactly what I did. I rode for 507
miles to the western part of the state. Tara and Kristie went with me and we
stopped by Benton to visit our old friends at </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.mtginsurance.com/" target="_blank">Morgan Trevathan & Gunn Insurance</a>. I say old… because the agency
started more than 80 years ago. We lassoed Michael Martin and chatted about
just some of the many <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/MemberBenefits.pdf" target="_blank">benefits of membership</a>. We talked about the impor</span>tance of
the independent agency system. It is important for consumers to have the CHOICE
to select the insurance that is best for them. We also talked about our new
money-saving product that concentrates on<a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/schooleymitchell_edit.pdf" target="_blank"> telecom services</a>. Through <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/schooleymitchell_edit.pdf" target="_blank">SchooleyMitchell</a> they can help save you thousands over three years on your phone,
mobile, internet and fax services. Michael was also interested in our <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/Cyberliability.pdf" target="_blank">Cyber Liability product</a>. We filled him in on the <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/Education/Pages/CRM/default.aspx" target="_blank">CRM </a>course held February 25-28, 2015
in Louisville and will help him gain all of his updates for his CIC

get involved in the association. </div>

Ray has been in the insurance business for 23 years. He specializes in
Marine/Resort insurance. Prior to starting his insurance business he worked in
the marine business for 13 years. So you could say that he knows his stuff. Ray
played football for UK and was even the team captain in <a href="http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/all-time-results.html" target="_blank">1974</a>. While attending
UK he met Ches Riddle Jr (<a href="http://www.riddleins.com/" target="_blank">Riddle Insurance</a>) and they are now business partners.
Ray has 2 children (Stephen works in the agency) and his daughter lives in
Lexington and is mother to his first grand baby! I promise there were no
pictures in his office</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ArialMT;">Ray told us
many fun facts about how the Kentucky Dam creates the largest manmade lake in the
eastern United States. It backs up the Tennessee River for 184 miles and
creates a lake that stretches south across the western tip of Kentucky. At
maximum normal operating level, Kentucky Lake covers more than 160,000 acres. M</span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ArialMT;">ore important than the project's size are the jobs it performs.
Kentucky Dam is the spigot that TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) uses to help
control floods on the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers. </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Pretty impressive
if you ask me. We chatted about member benefits and let him know how much we
appreciate his membership. We may even get his son, Stephen, to get involved
with the <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/Membership/Pages/Young-Agents/default.aspx" target="_blank">Young Agents</a>. <br />

through an actual storm to get there. Coincidence… I think not! Peggy, Tara and
I visited with Melanie Hardesty and Jennifer Farmer to talk about all the
benefits that you receive with membership. We went through our <i><a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/Quick%20Guide%20to%20Membership%20-%20OVERVIEW.pdf" target="_blank">Quick Guide to Membership</a> </i>which
is always helpful even for “seasoned” members. Storm has been in the business for
7 years and specializes in crop insurance. We talked about how attending events
is a great way to meet other agents and really understand what this
organization is about. We are a community of agents all after the same goal. <br />
<br />
We trotted over to the <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/Membership/Pages/LocalBoards/default.aspx">Owensboro Board of Independent Insurance Agents (OBIIA)</a>monthly meeting. We ate at the BriarPatch in the middle of town before the
meeting began. Hope Yager, President of
the board spoke to the group about the state of the organization. The board was
able to give $500 to all the area schools and volunteer at the Pitino Shelter
1-1.5 hours a month. Each agency has been taking turns to volunteer their time.
GO OBIIA! <br />

anywhere else. Also, you don’t have to be an expert or even be compliant.
Arlington Roe will work with you to get you there. She also talked about the
new Squirrel membership recruitment campaign! If you see someone that you think
needs to be a <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/Membership/Pages/membership/AgencyMembership/default.aspx">member</a>… simply give them a card and send their info to us! We
will take it from there. Tara gave the board the lowdown on the newest IIAK
endorsement, <a href="http://ky.iiaba.net/SiteAssets/Marketing/schooleymitchell_edit.pdf">Telecom Services</a>. You can save 28-40% on your phone, mobile and

When they said I was going to a meeting for a health check-up... I thought I was going to the VET. But to my relief, I was meeting with the Anthem Gals.

...And guess who walked in, none other than Past President, Joe Barnes! Joe came into the position in 2007. He was very instrumental in the purchase and move into our "new/6 year old" office space. This of course, led to our new Training Center which Joe and I are standing in shown in the photo above. <br /><br />His wife Peggy is also an agent and was very involved with our Education Committee and helped make it what it is today. <br />
<br />
Joe says Peggy is under the weather and hopes to be back in the saddle soon.<br />

I discovered a new place today, Lexington, Kentucky. Peggy, Tara and I galloped over to Taylor Made Insurance group and met with Adam Young. They are new members and we were able to walk Adam through our many products and services. He and the owner Jake Riordan recently registered and used Big "I" Markets. Adam was interested in getting involved with the Young Agents. He was considering meeting some other young agents at the Keeneland outing on Oct 18. We chatted about Project CAP and our Group Health Plan.<br />

Next we canterred over to Kentucky Insurance Group to pop in to see Joe Barnes. He wasn't in...(Which isn't uncommon, since we sometimes drop by unannounced.) But we did get a chance to talk to Elden Cox. It was nice to catch up. Elden attended our Super Management Class (Sept 12-13) facilitated by the National Alliance.<br />
<br />
We kept the pace and hurdled over to Al Torstrick Insurance Agency Inc. We met with Sandra Blain, President of the agency. Her dad and brother preceded her as President's. They also preceded her in being President of the IIAK Board of Directors'. It was so fun to sit down and get to know Sandra. Did you know that she was our first female President? Yep... in 2010. She is very stylish and knows a thing or two about running an agency. Sandra has dedicated so much of her time to IIAK and is still serving on our Investment Advisory Committee.<br />

We talked with Marie Houlihan who was super nice. She is such a great member (she reads ALL her emails:)). She knew all the happenings of IIAK. She asked great questions about the Affordable Care Act. Her sister Susan Douglass works with her and her newest employee John Murphy (son of Past President Tim Murphy- 1992). We didn't get to meet him... but hopefully I will soon.<br />

They were hosting their 16th Annual Golf Scramble held at Ben Hawes Golf Course... This was great fun and all for a great cause. The previous golf outings have helped benefit several families during the holidays through the local school family resource centers, Daniel Pitino Shelter Soup Kitchen, Sunrise Children's Services, Oasis, Goodfellows, The Help Office, Red Cross and local high schools for their after prom/graduation functions.

I was so excited to meet the leadership of IIAK all in one place!<br />
<br />
These people dedicate so much of their time to our organization and we couldn't survive without them. They attend all of our meetings and do so much "on the backside" to help our organization thrive.<br />
<br />
First, I met the Executive Committee at the budget meeting for IIAK. The Executive Committee met in our new Training Center (next door to our office). Everyone was there including our Chair, Bill Latta, Chair-Elect, John Funkhouser, Vice-Chair, Michelle Love, Immediate Past Chair, Tim Conder, National Director, Steve Kinkade, Treasurer, James England.<br />
<br />
We went through the budget line by line and talked about the future of the Association.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks later we "reined" in the rest of the Board for a REAL Board meeting in Henderson, Ky. <br />

I so enjoyed "horsing around" with this group. You would love it too! <br />
<br />
The best way to get involved is to join one or more of our committees. Please give the office a call or <a href="mailto:iiak@iiak.org" target="_blank">email </a>if any of the below committees interest you. It is a great way to engage with other members... and the best part, most of the committees "corral" via conference call - So you don't have to leave your comfy chair!<br />

Boy, have I been BUSY!<br />
<br />
I had a HAY DAY in EeeeTown last month. I galloped all over Elizabethtown with Kristie and Tara. We started off our day at <a href="http://www.curnealhigniteins.com/" target="_blank">Curneal and Hignite</a>. We met with Gerry Hignite who has been in the insurance biz for more than 40 years. He was one of the agents that co-founded the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/09_YoungAgents/NAV_YAYoungAgents?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=MEMPROD&ContentLevel2=YNGAGNT" target="_blank">Young Agents</a>. We talked about many products and services that IIAK offers. He blew out 69 candles the on the 17th of August! Happy Birthday Gerry!<br />

Then we sauntered down the road to<a href="http://www.duffinsurance.com/" target="_blank"> Duff Insurance Agency</a> and chatted with Jacob Hazle.

Jacob also qualifies to be a Young Agent, since he is under 40 years of age. (You can also qualify if you have been in the business less than 5 years!) Jacob's Dad, Dennis is the principal agent and has been ill. I hope he gets back in the saddle soon. <br />

information on affordable healthcare. He wasn't sure if he had ever logged in to <a href="http://www.bigimarkets.com/" target="_blank">Big "I" Markets</a> so we told him we would check when we headed down the stretch back home! <br />

The weather was perfect and the company was extraordinary. My chauffer was Tara and Arlene was the navigator. I sat in the back seat and enjoyed the scenery. <br />

Our first stop was with Karen Brown of <a href="http://www.globeagency.com/" target="_blank">Globe Insurance</a>. They sit right off interstate 75 so they were easy to find. Karen has been in the biz for more than 40 years. She was telling us that they have a another agency in Ohio that is a member of the Ohio Association. Karen just set up her profile on <a href="http://www.trustedchoice.com/">www.trustedchoice.com</a>. She was very excited for the leads she was going to receive. Karen also gave us an awesome idea for a marketing piece to supply to our members. Stay tuned the IIAK staff may be working on it for you. <br />

We moseyed on down to <a href="http://www.gartmaninsurance.com/" target="_blank">Gartman Insurance</a> in Erlanger. They have a new location and it is really nice. We met with Wen Gartman. He is fairly new to the independent world... but not to insurance. He was a captive agent for many years before making the switch. Wen's agency is taking advantage of our <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/05_MemberProductsServices/01_InsuranceCoverageAgency/NAV_MPSInsuranceCoverageAgency?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=MEMPROD&ContentLevel2=MPSINSACY" target="_blank">E&O Program</a>.

Next stop... FLORENCE Y'ALL! We buzzed over to <a href="http://www.tciky.com/" target="_blank">Tri-City Insurance Service</a>, Inc. and met with Bill McCarty. He is a former member of IIAK's Board of Directors'. We met his son Ryan and his wife Donna and all the gals in the office. We chatted about Bill's time in leadership and Ryan talked about serving on the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/09_YoungAgents/NAV_YAYoungAgents?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=MEMPROD&ContentLevel2=YNGAGNT" target="_blank">Young Agents Committee</a>. My favorite part was meeting another four-legged friend, Maxie. She is a boxer that works very hard at insurance. She greets all the guests as they enter. She is very much a girly-girl and her toenails matched her collar. I think she was flirting with me... She kept blowing me kisses, or was it bubbles? I can't remember. <br />
<br />
After a yummy lunch at the Cobblestone Café, Tara, Arlene and I trotted over to <a href="http://www.gross-ins.com/" target="_blank">Gross Insurance</a>. <br />

There we hung out with Nick Rolf. He is heavily involved in IIAK's <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/05_MemberProductsServices/NAV_MPSMemberResources1?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=MEMPROD&ContentLevel2=MEMRES1" target="_blank">Project CAP </a>Task Force. He was selected to set up his social networking profile that coincides with the portal. Check out his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nicholasrolfgrossins" target="_blank">Facebook page here</a>. Nick also is taking advantage of our advertising co-op. Did you know that just by using the Trusted Choice logo, you can receive up to $500 of your advertising dollars back! Y'all that's FREE money! Nick also told us he was getting married on September 1! He is inviting 500 of his closest friends and family. Funny thing... my invite must have gotten lost in the mail. Maybe they weren't inviting horses, weird! On our way out we met Nick's uncle, David Gross. He is a former IIAK Board Member and David's daddy is IIAK Past President Frank Gross (1982). Thanks <a href="http://www.gross-ins.com/" target="_blank">Gross Insurance</a> for being a loyal supporter of IIAK. On our way to the next stop, I looked out the window at the cute, quaint town of Fort Thomas. There was lots of action in town and looked like school was about to start soon. <br />

What a warm welcome at <a href="http://www.desmondinsurance.com/" target="_blank">Desmond Insurance</a>. There were hugs abound! We sat down with Shannon Desmond Walz and chatted about many of our new products. Shannon is signed up for our <a href="https://www.scic.com/courses/undefined/super_management/20130913KYSMT" target="_blank">Super Management Class</a> on September 12-13. We just got approved for 8 HOURS of CE. How about a High Hoof on that one. We also talked about <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/03_Education/04_SpecialPrograms/NAV_EDUSpecialPrograms?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EDUCTN&ContentLevel2=EDUSPECPROG" target="_blank">ABEN the Live Webcasts</a> that stream professional instructors right into your office, along with related course material and the ability to ask questions and chat with other students. Best part: No test at the end! What? This can't be real?! We bumped into Denny Desmond who is an IIAK celebrity. He was President in 1997, he was the State National Director and the E. Starling Holloway recipient at the 2012 <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/06_EventsConferences/02_AnnualConvention/NAV_ECAnnualConvention?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EVTCONF&ContentLevel2=ECCONV" target="_blank">Annual Convention</a>. IIAK is now taking submissions for a 2013 recipient. We met Jan (Denny's wife, Shannon's mom) and she had heard about me. I was so happy to meet her and she had been following my adventures:)<br />

So we hopped over to<br />
<a href="http://www.bilzinsurance.com/" target="_blank">Chas. H. Bilz Insurance Agency</a>. This agency is heavily involved in IIAK. They are long-time members. They even had a hand in the local board, Northern Kentucky Independent Agents. We met up with Karen Toll. She is a rock star and was the IIAK's 2005 CSR of the Year Award Winner. If you know of a CSR that has been extraordinary, submit their name to IIAK for the 2013 award. <br />

Other items that we talked about were the <a href="https://www.scic.com/courses/CRM/crm_principles_of_risk_management/20140405KYRME" target="_blank">CRM</a> that is coming up on April 2-5, 2014 and <a href="https://iw.trustedchoice.com/" target="_blank">Project CAP</a>. We gave her a handy-dandy sheet that walked her through the steps to set it up for her agency. When we got back to the office, Arlene found a picture of Karen accepting her CSR of the Year Award from our President & CEO, Peggy Porter. <br />

Shew... What a whirlwind trip! IIAK has a lot of members (and non-members) in Northern Kentucky. We will have to come back soon and visit more member agencies. Thanks for the Northern Hospitality Y'all! I need a nap.<br />

the companies and agencies they wish to purchase from. In November, Ryan will focus on email marketing. He will help you learn why it's important, how to capture emails, what to do with them once you capture them and how to translate them into revenue. In addition, agencies must
implement unique strategies for conveying their values, products and services,
so that you can reach those customers and stand out from the rest. This

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our drive to Henderson took us out of the state into
Indiana and then back again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you
believe that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, on the way, we drove
past Ellis Park which is a racetrack in Henderson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave my fellow horses a wave as we drove

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We arrived at Bill’s agency which is right on Main Street
and is just a block away from the Ohio River.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He gave us a tour of his office which used to be an old bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even got to see the old style vault they
have inside, which is now used as a supply room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You wouldn’t want to be locked inside!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also met some of the delightful staff at </span><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://lattainsuranceinc.com/">Latta Insurance Services</a></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> including

been an insurance agent for nearly 40 years now, so he gave us a lot of insight
about the insurance business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He spoke
about how he started, some of the challenges and opportunities he’s faced
during his career and his involvement in the association. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And here’s a fascinating fact about Bill, that
I bet you did not know:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and a buddy
of his own a two-year old racehorse named Beccawhit!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> (I would love to meet that filly!) </span>She was named after each of their daughters. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Following our interview with Bill, he and Whitney were
kind enough to give us a tour of downtown Henderson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Henderson sits along the Ohio River and did
you know it was the only major city along the Ohio River that did not flood in
1937?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we toured downtown, we drove
past the house that was used in the film <em>A League of Their Own</em> and we also
drove along the waterfront which they have developed with plenty of parkland
for people to use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In mid-June the
waterfront becomes the location for the famous annual </span><a href="http://www.handyblues.org/"><span style="color: blue;">W.C. Handy Blues & Barbecue Festival</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a great day spent in Henderson and I really
enjoyed travelling with Arlene and my time listening to Bill and meeting his staff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget that our interview with him will

Today is her last day with the association, she is goin' back to Cali! I will always have fond memories of my time with Megan, we hung out together at many events. She took me to the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/03_Education/NAV_EDUCISR?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EDUCTN&ContentLevel2=CISR">CRM</a>, Louisville Board Meetings and the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/06_EventsConferences/NAV_ECEventsRecurring3?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EVTCONF&ContentLevel2=EVTREC3">Trusted Choice Big "I" National Championship</a>. Megs (as I like to call her) is heading back to her home state where she will be closer to her family. She is starting a new journey and she will be missed by the membership and especially the staff of IIAK. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication you provided the past 4 years (minus one). </span><br />

During the Fourth of July week, we conquered the cleaning and organizing of some of the office closets. Peggy also reported that we need to make sure and update the Strategic Plan for the coming year. She advised us to meet with our respective committees and get feedback for goals moving forward. <br />
<br />
Megan went first (since she is leaving us:( on July 23) and talked about things she was wrapping up before her departure to California. She talked about <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/03_Education/04_SpecialPrograms/NAV_EDUSpecialPrograms?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EDUCTN&ContentLevel2=EDUSPECPROG">ABEN</a> and the correspondence with the appropriate staff there.

<br />
<a href="mailto:tpurvis@iiak.org">Tara</a> was next and talked about the new and improved new member and renewal application. They should be ready in no time. She is also finishing up the marketing plan that hits on all aspects of the association. <br />
<br />
<a href="mailto:jholder@iiak.org">Joy</a> reported that Anthem renewals were complete as of July 1. It was a very busy time and all of our members were assisted in a timely manner. <br />

<br />
<a href="mailto:ahawkins@iiak.org">Arlene</a> went last so that she could report on her recent trip to Atlanta for the Membrosia Users Group and the Cobranded website meeting. Membrosia is the database that we use to track all of our Members, Companies, Industry Partners, Events and Education courses. Also, we are going to migrate to a new website soon to make it more user-friendly. She also informed us that she was very busy working on the July/August <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/02_News/03_NewspapersPublications/01_Newsletter/NAV_NEWSPublication1?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=NEWS&ContentLevel2=NEWSPUB&ContentLevel3=NEWSPU1">Magazine</a> and the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/06_EventsConferences/02_AnnualConvention/NAV_ECAnnualConvention?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EVTCONF&ContentLevel2=ECCONV">Annual Convention</a> promo. <br />

<b>Where</b>: The University Golf Club of Kentucky (Wildcat Course) - 4850 Leestown Road, Lexington, KY 40511<br />
<br />
- The low 2 males and 2 females who qualify in the state tournament will represent Kentucky in the<a href="http://www.bigigolf.com/"> Trusted Choice Big "I" National Tournament</a> (August 5-8, 2013 - Country Club of North Carolina Pinehurst, NC)<br />
<br />
I was TOTALLY hanging out with the youngsters today! So much fun to see these 18 and unders compete on the golf course. We started out with a flood delay because of the crazy amount of rain Lexington received the night before. Once the players were OFF making birdies and pars, Megan and I directed the players around the flooded areas. I got to ride in the golf cart and show off the trophies. Then it started raining... again... so I decided to take a break in the car. But the players didn't stop. They continued to play despite the conditions. The first day was a little wet to say the least... but the sun was shining on Friday and the kiddos had a great second day of play.<br />
<br />
I finally got to meet Moe Dugger, the chair of the <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/09_YoungAgents/NAV_YAYoungAgents?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=MEMPROD&ContentLevel2=YNGAGNT&ContentLevel3=">Young Agents Committee</a> for IIAK. He helped shuttle the players between nines and then presented the awards at the end. We became such good friends that we even shared a Sprite. <br />

<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The newest way to get CE is through the Agents and Brokers Education Network or <a href="http://www.iiaba.net/KY/03_Education/04_SpecialPrograms/NAV_EDUSpecialPrograms?ContentPreference=KY&ActiveState=KY&ActiveTab=NA&ContentLevel1=EDUCTN&ContentLevel2=EDUSPECPROG">ABEN</a>. It is a great way to get CE without traveling and... NO test taking! That's right! You can sit at your desk and see the instructor, the power point and you can even communicate with the instructor and type in your questions. Pay attention because a series of codes will show up during the class and you will need to enter those in at the end of the course to receive credit. </span></span></div>
